Here’s hoping your husband has a smooth and speedy recovery!

Yesterday I went to Findlay and tonight I brought him home. It’s Erysipelas on his right leg. I’m unsure if Erysipelas is a form of cellulitis or is just something similar to cellulitis.

Thanks for the happy thoughts, everyone. It helped.

Just something similar. [

](Erysipelas: Background, Pathophysiology and Etiology, Epidemiology) The prognosis sounds very promising – I hope he’s feeling better soon!

He’s definitely feeling better.

It’s funny. Half of the paperwork says “Cellulitis” and half says “Erysipelas.”

In any case, he’s getting better. How do I know? He’s craving Taco Bell. :smiley:

That is great news. Maybe not a Nachos Bell Grande yet, but how about a bean burrito for the hero of this thread?
